MA200 Expansion and Drawdown ThermometerMA200 Expansion & Drawdown Thermometer
Overview
This indicator measures and classifies every historical price cycle above and below a moving average, building a statistical thermometer that tells you — in real time — how extended the current move is relative to all past cycles.
How It Works
Every time price crosses above the selected moving average, the script opens a new expansion cycle and tracks the maximum percentage distance the HIGH reaches from the MA before price closes back below it. Symmetrically, every time price crosses below the MA, a drawdown cycle begins and tracks how far the LOW drops before price recovers. When each cycle ends, its peak expansion (or drawdown) percentage is stored in a historical array.
Thermometer Lines
At the right edge of the chart, three horizontal dashed lines project forward from the current MA value:
🔺 EXP MAX — the largest upside expansion ever recorded in the selected period
⚠️ EXP 75%ile — the 75th percentile of all historical expansions
📊 EXP AVG — the average expansion across all cycles
The same three levels are mirrored below the MA for drawdown cycles (blue/purple palette). Coloured fill zones between the lines create an intuitive heat-map: yellow → orange → red for upside risk, teal → purple → blue for downside risk.
Live Cycle Label
When price is currently in an active cycle, a label on the latest bar shows:
Maximum % reached so far in this cycle
Current close % distance from the MA
Remaining headroom to the historical maximum
Historical Table
A compact side table displays:
Period indicator — shows whether you are viewing the full history or a custom lookback window
Top N expansions (ranked, colour-coded by intensity vs. average and 75th percentile)
Top N drawdowns (same logic, mirrored below a divider)
Average and MAX summary for both sections
LIVE row (highlighted in yellow) when a cycle is currently active

Octopus Nest Strategy Hello Fellas,
Hereby, I come up with a popular strategy from YouTube called Octopus Nest Strategy. It is a no repaint, lower timeframe scalping strategy utilizing PSAR, EMA and TTM Squeeze.
The strategy considers these market factors:
PSAR -> Trend
EMA -> Trend
TTM Squeeze -> Momentum and Volatility by incorporating Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels
Note: As you can see there is a potential improvement by incorporating volume.
What's Different Compared To The Original Strategy?
I added an option which allows users to use the Adaptive PSAR of @loxx, which will hopefully improve results sometimes.
Signals
Enter Long -> source above EMA 100, source crosses above PSAR and TTM Squeeze crosses above 0
Enter Short -> source below EMA 100, source crosses below PSAR and TTM Squeeze crosses below 0
Exit Long and Exit Short are triggered from the risk management. Thus, it will just exit on SL or TP.
Risk Management
"High Low Stop Loss" and "Automatic High Low Take Profit" are used here.
High Low Stop Loss: Utilizes the last high for short and the last low for long to calculate the stop loss level. The last high or low gets multiplied by the user-defined multiplicator and if no recent high or low was found it uses the backup multiplier.
Automatic High Low Take Profit: Utilizes the current stop loss level of "High Low Stop Loss" and gets calculated by the user-defined risk ratio.
Now, follows the bunch of knowledge for the more inexperienced readers.
PSAR: Parabolic Stop And Reverse; Developed by J. Welles Wilders and a classic trend reversal indicator.
The indicator works most effectively in trending markets where large price moves allow traders to capture significant gains. When a security’s price is range-bound, the indicator will constantly be reversing, resulting in multiple low-profit or losing trades.
TTM Squeeze: TTM Squeeze is a volatility and momentum indicator introduced by John Carter of Trade the Markets (now Simpler Trading), which capitalizes on the tendency for price to break out strongly after consolidating in a tight trading range.
The volatility component of the TTM Squeeze indicator measures price compression using Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. If the Bollinger Bands are completely enclosed within the Keltner Channels, that indicates a period of very low volatility. This state is known as the squeeze. When the Bollinger Bands expand and move back outside of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze is said to have “fired”: volatility increases and prices are likely to break out of that tight trading range in one direction or the other. The on/off state of the squeeze is shown with small dots on the zero line of the indicator: red dots indicate the squeeze is on, and green dots indicate the squeeze is off.
EMA: Exponential Moving Average; Like a simple moving average, but with exponential weighting of the input data.
Don't forget to check out the settings and keep it up.
Best regards,
simwai

Chaikin Money Flow + MACD + ATRHere I present you on of Trade Pro's Trading Idea: Chaikin Money Flow + MACD + ATR.
This strategy is not as profitable as it can be seen in one of his videos. In the forex market, the strategy could reach a maximum of 35% profitability.
I have, as some of my followers have requested, created an overview of the current position, risk and leverage settings in the form of a table.
Furthermore, one can again swap between short and long positions.
It is now possible to select or deselect individual indicators.
I have chosen the ATR alone as a take profit stop loss, as in his strategy.
A position is only triggered as soon as all prerequisites have been fulfilled and a command is executed. This prevents false triggering by bots and repainting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How does the strategy work?
ENTRY
Long
The MACD indicator must be above the zero line.
Then the K line must cross the D line.
Finally, when this happens, the Money Flow Index must be above the zero line.
Short
Contrary to the premise of long positions.
EXIT
ATR Exit
The value of ATR at the time of buying is multiplied by the value entered in "Profit factor ATR" and "Stop factor ATR". As soon as the price reaches this value, it is closed.
Important
The script must be optimized for each coin or currency pair.
I will publish a guide to the strategy shortly. There I will explain how the table works and how to set the strategy correctly.
The results of the strategy are without commissions and leverage.
If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know in the comments. Strategy
